700R4 needs some help...
I read about some stuff, either here, or on some other forums, that would help out a high mileage transmission that was starting to slip. Does anyone know what it is called? I remember one guy saying that he thought his 700R4 was a goner it was slipping so badly, and he put this stuff in, and it completely fixed the problem for a long time.
Mine has about 150,000 on it now, and it is starting to slip on me. I need it to last just a little bit longer until I am ready to put the T56 in. So if anyone knows the name of this stuff, let me know!
Thanks!

Re: 700R4 needs some help...
If there's such a thing then we don't need trans rebuilder. 
The fix is to rebuild it. Adding some miracle fluid is just masking the problem. Just find a decent used one that has less than 60k miles.

Re: 700R4 needs some help...
Nah, I am just 1 or 2 months away from being able to put the T56 in. If I could get anything that could help it last even just a little longer, it would be worth it to me at this point.
I will check out that Lucas Transmission Fix. Thanks for the link!

Also another product called "Trans-X" that I have heard good reviews on, comes in a bottle that looks alot like Red Line 2-stroke premix.

Camaero,
let us know which one you're going to used and the outcome. Might used it on the DD cars before they start to slip though.
